very good for my education i was on the screen for about 15 seconds, and it took about half a day of filming. and that is not including the time that i spent in costume and makeup. it is the effort that goes in to making movies on television, it is just terrific. i was walking around the set and i saw a weaving -- and they had just put this prop -- it didn't appear in the story, but it was a 12th century boom. now, looms changed century by century and it was a technology that developed. it was not a 10th or 11th century loom. it was a 12th century one. but somebody working on a film knew it. and they got it exactly right. >> are you tempted be in any one of these things? >> well, i like the drama.

managing to out perform and outclass those of high birth and formal education. throughout her career she was honored with the middle, from america and france. but her coup de grace came in 1959 when queen elizabeth awarded her game commander of the british empire for her contribution to 20th century literature. now, how do we account for the success of these two women? pure raw intelligence and drive, certainly, but there were other smart and ambitious women. what distinguished thompson and west was their courage to jettison the constraints of the past, break the rules and forge a path for women in journalism and literature at a time of great political upheaval. their influence was of perception, character, drive, and the guts to speak truth to power, at a time that was cataclysmic in world history. in short, they felt an overriding sense of historical mission, and were willing to do everything to make their voices heard. but there was a danger in their ambition, a dark side, which is exactly why i named my book "dangerous ambition." it was certainly heroic, but
